DUAL ACTION ®AGITATOR
Kenmore's DUAL ACTION ® Agitator
gives you flexible fabric care for even
your largest loads,
The best cleaning
action in your
washer takes
place at the bat-
tom where the
agitator vanes
move back and
forth to flex the
fabric, loosening
the soil. To get all
your clothes down
to the bottom of
the washer, the
upper portion of
the agitator has
uniquely designed, spiral vanes to help
push the clothes that are on top down to
the bottom. This spiraling action dis-
places the clothes that are on the bot-
tom with a "roll-over" motion.
SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER
_t,Ji!t,J_,_i :I_ i[_ il "=
Lint is filtered from the load
automatically - there's no messy
cleanup,
Your washer features a self-cleaning
filter that traps lint from the water while
the washer is washing and deep rinsing
the laundry. The trapped lint is flushed
down the drain automatically. You don't
have to clean the filter.
UNDERSTANDING NORMAL
WASHER SOUNDS
Your new washer may make sounds
that your old one didn't. Because the
sounds are unfamiliar, you may be
concerned about them.
The following describes some of the
normal sounds you may hear and what
causes them.
During Drain
The rate that water is drained from your
washer depends on your installation. If
water is drained quickly from the washer,
you may hear air being pulled through the
pump. This happens during the end of
draining.
After Drain and Before Spin
When the cycle changes from draining
to spinning, you may hear a noise as the
gearcase shifts.
